MISSINGNO?

Due to some Porygons eating our data, and the inability of Sun and Moon to save battle videos when battling against Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, some information for some of our champions has unfortunately been lost! If you are one of the affected champions, please e-mail us at paxpokemonleague@gmail.com, and we’ll repair the Hall of Fame as soon as possible!

If you see any errors, or if you were left off accidentally or something’s missing, leave a comment and we’ll fix it! This is the last post from PPL South 2018! Thank you for playing!

Patrick Pinkerton, the Pink Pokemon Protector!

After being humbled by fellow Pokemon trainers almost 4 years ago at PAX East, Patrick went on a training journey across the world to perfect his bonds with his pink partners. With his trusty sidekick Sylveon, he has returned to the PAX Pokemon League prove himself as a powerful pink pokemon trainer!

Prepare and prime a perfect plan to earn the Pink Badge!

Pending, the TV Guide!

Check your watch… Whoa, look at that! Your calculator watch says 1999. That means it’s time to turn that hat backwards, bust out that yo-yo, stick a cassette into that walkman, and get ready for a rad time, because we’re in the 90s! That’s right, it’s a Saturday in the 90s. This new game called Pokemon just came out, and we’re about to check it out while we watch some Saturday morning cartoons! Scheduled during the Pending timeslot – sit down, grab a can of Surge, and get ready to challenge Pending, the TV Guide!

Prove that not just 90’s kids will get this to earn the Saturday Morning Badge!

Ellie, the Mechanic of Dust!

In the desolate area of northern Pandora called The Dust, Ellie runs her garage. While she gets some human visitors knocking on her door, it’s usually one of the many vicious, native creatures looking for a fight. Tired of her little pest problem, Ellie has decided to cage them, stuff them into pokemon costumes, and haul them off to PAX South, where she hopes they may finally get the challenge they have been looking for.

Survive the terrors of The Dust and earn L’s Badge!

Big Red, the King of the Hill!

Howdy ya’ll! His name is Mike Sherpa, but you can call him Big Red! He’s traveled across many regions, living life to the fullest! There’s no mountain too great and no peak too high! His team is the biggest, heaviest champs in all the land. Think yer up for the challenge young traveler?

Marshall, the Battling Breeder!

Leader’s Message: “All Pokemon can learn to love each other! Some just take more time than others…”

Defeat this guy, and win yourself an officially unofficial PAX Pokemon League diploma, and a spot on the first Unplugged Hall of Fame! Quite the honor, I say. Trainer! Believe in you! Gather your deck, and join us these weekend for history-in-the-making at the first ever Tabletop PPL!

The last in our line of Leaders, we have someone fishy, someone shadowy, and someone who can hear the voices beyond the grave! Remember, you need 6 badges to challenge our Champ! Can you find and defeat these Gym Leaders before PAX Unplugged ends?

Mayor Karp, the Fishy Mayor!

Leader’s Pokemon: Do these Pokemon seem fishy to you?

Badge: Splashy Badge

Undefined, the Shadowy Silhouette!

Leader’s Pokemon: Legendary Pokemon with a darker feel!

Leader’s Message: “You may feel lost in the shadows during this duel, but find the light to conquer the darkness and you’ll emerge with the Shadow Badge!”

Maxwell Graves, Diviner of the Discard!

Leader’s Pokemon: Just as dangerous in any zone!

Leader’s Message: “Huh, and all these years I’ve just been using cards to tell fortunes…”

Our Gym Leaders have been hard at work tuning their decks for this weekend. You’ll need to find and defeat six of them in order to challenge our Champ! PAX Unplugged is just a few days away, so with great pride we present the first Leaders on your quest to become the very best!

Prof. Hardwood, the TCG Researcher!

Strategy: Stay a while and listen…

Leader’s Pokemon: Simple and clean.

Leader’s Message: “To be the best, you must first understand the basics!”

Announcing: PAX Pokemon League Unplugged!

Do you have a passion for the Pokemon Trading Card Game? We’re looking for Gym Leaders to join us in Philadelphia November 17-19 for the very first tabletop PAX Pokemon League! That’s right, we’ve been working behind the scenes to bring you a brand new PAX Pokemon experience. We don’t have much time, so applications are only open until September 20th!

Cyrus and Aku, the Dueling Brothers

Born together but separated by their parents, these two brothers have reunited with Pokemon. To show their parents that genes don’t make the men, they are going work together and bring balance to the cosmos. After many challenges arose in their training . they finally settled on the prestigious coin flip to determine the team. Defeat the brothers and gain the Eclipse Emblem.

Eclipse Badge

Mr. Hawk, the High-Flying Professor

Mr. Hawk is an energetic educator at the Trainer School in Hao’oli. After the being soundly defeated by the Champion of Alola, Mr. Hawk decided to revisit and revise his entire repertoire of lessons to see what he could do to improve. Several days and a couple pots of coffee later he came to the conclusion that he would need to take a short sabbatical to brush up on battle style and to learn some new techniques. So with this goal in mind Mr. Hawk went off to join the Pax Pokemon League where he knew he would test other trainers and be tested himself. SHOCK Mr. Hawk by paying attention in class so you can ROCK your exams and earn the Lesson Badge!
